Basketball: Video Replay to be Available
Reno79 picked this up from yesterday's RC:
ONE BENEFIT TO OFFICIAL’S CALL — More than a few KSU fans have asked if the school plans to protest Wisconsin-Green Bay’s men’s basketball victory over the Flashes on Sunday in the Hispanic College Fund Classic at the M.A.C. Center.
UWGB won the game on a last-second shot that arguably never should have counted after a series of calls that could be debated.
“Now, I’m the athletic director for Kent State, but I think the ball was out of bounds,” said Laing Kennedy, referencing the play.
Kent State has asked the Mid-American Conference to review the play. The Flashes’ only real hope is an apology from the league, although an internal reprimand on the official may be more likely.
More importantly, the Flashes have decided to learn from their own frustration.
From now on, Kent State will have a video monitor available at the scorer’s table to give officials a chance to review instant replay.
Technically, officials could not have overruled Sunday’s game-winning basket even after noticing the foul or the ball rolling out of bounds on replay. But they may have been able to determine the play took more than three seconds when only 2.7 remained on the overtime clock.
“We have the capabilities to have instant replay available,” said Kennedy. “Everything is in place. From now on, we are going to have a monitor at the scorer’s table whether the game is on television or not. We have a great system with the (stadium’s video boards), there is no reason not to have a monitor. It won’t change what happened last night, but it will be one more little step in making our facility first class.”
